    Yeah, like many others, I've been the victim of carefully taken and/or doctored photos by EBay sellers.
    Once it involved 'V' nickels that looked good in pix but when in hand were immediately and obviously the product of some kind of leaching which enhanced the "Liberty" and other details for the photos but rendered the coin quite porous looking. To my mind, any such seller knew or should have known that a very important aspect of the coin s/he was selling had been left out of the description and it reflects very poorly upon them.

    Thanks for showing what can be done.

    Nice Circulated.. It was Bright.. The Color on this is 100% Added.. All through Photoshop.. There was NO color on the coin.. till Pictured and Put into the Program.. Took 5 Min..

    You can't Trust your Eyes anymore.. I saw an Ad in a Magazine once..
    Just a page with a Girl and guy I think.. not even sure what they were selling.. It looked like a Perfect Action Shot.. She was holding the Product .. The only thing is her arm was bent in 3 Places.. Two Elbows? Ah.. PhotoShop... Everything is an illusion.

    The Others are some desktops I have been playing with

    You can get Photoshop Elements which is almost as good for $99 or less.

    I used the CS2, but like the other post said, photoshop elements will do the exact same thing for a LOT less. These images can be done in almost ALL of the most basic programs.

    I liked COREL Apps too.. They have nice plugins!! Its not as much as the Program as the Plugins..

    I am quite sure you are just doing it for your own viewing pleasure, and to show it off to members here, and believe all here think the same thing.


    As long as you aren't using those images in an ebay auction, promoting an error, then shipping the coin that you 'shopped, you shouldn't get roasted at all.
